September 20, 19th year of Jingkang

The sky is clear and the air is bright

Hero Valley

The top 100 contestants of the martial arts conference gathered under the ceremony platform, waiting for the draw results of 100 to 50.

Ma Jin was still watching the game in an old place, but there were a few more people next to him today, but his old friend Gou Qingtong and several colleagues in the Censorate.

The martial arts conference has become a grand event in the capital, and even officials are interested in it. Just as the yamen was about to have a rest, Gou Qingtong asked a few people to come to Ma Jin to watch the competition.

When my friends came here, Ma Jin, the local owner, had to treat him well. Not only did he arrange his own special seat for the game, he also served as a companion in person. He also took the time to introduce the rules of the conference competition with Gou Qingtong and others.

While chatting with his colleagues and friends, Ma Jin's eyes were not idle and looked at the top 100 players waiting for the lottery draw in the audience.

Under the ceremony

Among these 100 masters in the world, there are a few big bald heads that are worthy of attention. They are the monks from Shaolin, Songshan.

At this martial arts conference, there are many famous masters, but there are only a few famous sects, among which Shaolin Temple is the most famous.

Among the top 100 monks in the world, there are three Shaolin monks, and one is Chen Gang, who is a disciple of Shaolin, and there are four masters in Shaolin Temple, ranking among the top 100 in the conference. It is the sect with the most knockout rounds in the world. Compared with other sects, it is considered as amazing.

As for such a brilliant result, Shaolin Temple deliberately sent someone to the top 100 in order to block the Big Buddha Temple, otherwise it would be possible that two more places would be occupied.

As a result, Shaolin Temple's reputation in the world has increased sharply and has become a famous first-class sect. If it develops well and regains its previous prestige, it will probably be no longer a problem.

In comparison, the Big Buddha Temple, which is also the Beidou of Mount Tai, is a bit pitiful. Their disciples were almost wiped out under the siege of Shaolin. In the end, only one disciple of the Big Buddha Temple was shortlisted for the knockout round, but it was later replaced.

The Big Buddha Temple suffered a huge loss this time. I heard that the old abbot of the temple was almost cursing and said he wanted to be incompatible with Shaolin...

………

Compared with the Buddhist sect, Taoism is much more harmonious. Qingyun Temple is shortlisted for two, one in Longhu Mountain and one in Zhongnan Mountain. It occupies four places in the top 100 places, which is considered qualified.

However, Taoism seems not weak, but it is still inferior to Buddhism. Not to mention Chen Gang, a lay disciple, there is also a Xuekonian from Jingyue Temple, and a mute lama from the Western Regions who practiced silent meditation. The two Buddhist disciples entered the top 100.

Six to four, Buddhism won the martial arts conference.

From this we can also see that the foundation of the Taoist and Shi families is so strong that there are many masters in the martial arts conference. They have occupied 100% of the top 100 places, which is really true.

Especially in Shaolin, a group of people suddenly had a sudden attack. If it weren’t for the great internal strife and the loss of internal strife, they would probably have beaten Taoists by relying on their temple alone.

However, the prosperity of Buddhism ended here. Ma Jin, one of the ancestors of Qingyun, received a letter from his senior brother Pingfa.

The content in the letter is very simple. The old Taoist has always admired Taoism and suppressed Buddhism and regarded Buddhism as the enemy of life and death. Since I learned that six people in the top 100 Buddhists were nominated for this time, the old Taoist could not sit still. He wrote a book to ask Ma Jin to find a way to suppress it.

………

With such a naughty idea, Ma Jin was of course... to follow the advice, but suppressing Buddhism is not all for pacifying the pharaohs, and the court also has the same meaning.

Moreover, the imperial court suppressed not only these monks, but also those Taoist priests and some contestants who were not interested in official careers or were interested in sects, were eliminated as soon as possible.

After all, the purpose of the court is to select talents. The court must recruit all the best-ranked players to serve as officials in order to create a situation where all the talents in the world are working hard.

If you act like this, these casual people and Buddhists who will not enter the court at all will become thorns in the court's side.

Ma Jin has already received the intention of the court. He will eliminate a large number of players who are unintentional to be officials in a hundred and fifty rounds. He will try his best to beat the remaining second rounds of fifty to twenty-five.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Shaolin is, he can't stand the secret operation. However, Ma Jin has no intention of paying attention to them. Being able to send the two Qingyunguan into the second round is already a way to sell his face to the court. As for the others, please be blessed.

………

At the ceremony, Fatty Wu was holding a bronze trumpet and reciting the draw results of the first round of the knockout round, the 100-to-50th match.

"Shaolin Yuanye, against Tiansha Star Afu"

...

"The Western Region Lama Master Lingguang, against the King of the Gods Chen Gang"

………

"Shaolin Yuanwu, against the Blood Eagle King Yin Ying"

………

"The Great Buddha Temple is a madman, against the battle, the shattered monument is a great master.

...

"Shaolin Yuankong, against Hebei wrestling king Zhu Yang"

...

"Jingyue'an Xue Ke, against Guihu Ye Qian"

………

The arrangement is correct!

All of the people who faced Buddhism were popular seeds in this martial arts conference. They were all good. Even if they won by chance, they would probably not have the energy to win the next round.

"Amitabha, I also obey orders. Don't blame me, all Buddhas."

Fatty Wu said something, and then divided the two relatively weak opponents to Qingyunguan.

"Green Yunnan, against the Flying Swallows Today"

"Qingyun Nanyang, against the blue-haired rat Baiping"

………

"Tsk tsk."

Now even the shameless Fatty Wu couldn't stand it anymore. He was also a monk. Look at the opponents of other monks, such as the Vajra of the Gods, the Heavenly Eagle Star, and the Blood Eagle King. This nickname sounds like a good person.

As a result, it was Qingyun Temple's turn and became a flying swallow and a green-haired rat. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was a role playing soy sauce.

Fatty Wu felt a little sorry for the monks...

…………

Ma Jin was on the stage now, looking at the Buddhist people with a serious face, and his two cheap nephews with joy on their faces, helplessness flashed in his eyes, who had let himself get on the Taoist ship?

Pharaoh Ping is in his 90s and asks for his reputation as the Qingyun Temple, how can Ma Jin refuse?

However, Ma Jin looked at the two cheap nephews in the audience, his eyes flashed. He had done this in secret. If these two people were not successful, he would not blame him for teaching his apprentices for his senior brother.

However, if these two guys really make a mistake, I'm afraid they won't have to take action by themselves. Pharaoh Ping would have to tear them up first...

………

Just as Ma Jin was thinking about these two cheap nephews, Fatty Wu on the ceremonial stage also read out the complete lottery results, and then explained the rules of the knockout match.

The rules of the knockout round are very simple. Two players are one-on-one, the winner advances, the loser is eliminated, and the conditions for the decision of the winner are the same as before.

After the rules were announced, a gong sounded from the audience and the first round of knockout round officially began.
Chapter completed!
